Winter 2024 - 60

GooseWaddle carved a niche for itself by using trending colors and patterns
for its printed plush, as well as a fabric called Velboa, which contains
spandex. The company uses colors designed to coordinate well with many
baby nurseries. It also structures its products with children in mind.
" We sew the arms to the side and put on longer legs so kids can grasp
it easier, " Weldon said.
Weldon also noted newer fabrics have taken over the marketplace,
as well as using multiple fabrics on one plush product. She said this
is an indication that parents are becoming more intentional in their
toy purchases - for example, looking for toys that have a sensory
development component.
Mary Meyer now offers products for the baby market, including
its Putty line. " The signature sculpted fabric comes in subtle
colors. We found it works great with moms, dads, grandparents,
gift-givers; it has broad appeal, " Jekot said. " Colors are
muted, making it easy to be gender neutral. It's also a super
soft fabric. "
Mary Meyer also recently introduced a new Smootheez
fabric, a stretch velour. " We like it because it sews
very beautifully, makes nice, clean seams and takes
embroidery very well, " Jekot added.
